How to get PSD thumbnails?

[kiwichick]

Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything recent using search. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I want to get psd thumbnails and I've installed FastPictureViewer Codec Pack (trial version) but the thumbnails aren't showing in XY or WE. I've restarted my PC as per the installation instructions and psd is listed in Config > Previewed Formats but is there something else I need to do?

I'm using Icaros: https://shark007.net/forum/Forum-Icaros-Development
Edit: You may need to tick 32bit.

XY can natively extract embedded thumbs in PSD files. So if your CODEC does not work, you can try this tweak:

Code: Select all

PreviewPSDEmbeddedThumb=1

Thanks, Don, a very handy tweak and great to not need a third-party app. Turns out, the problem wasn't with XY or FastPictureViewer, it was the files themselves. It seems that, depending on the app used to create the psd file, it may not have an embedded thumbnail. All of my files were created using Shape Collage and none of them have thumbnails. However, if I open them in GIMP and resave them from there, the thumbnail is created. This might be handy information for any issues others may have with thumbnails not displaying.

Yes, even my version of Photoshop makes a thumbnail only if the current layer has an image.

Where to set the：PreviewPSDEmbeddedThumb=1，It's my first time using it，I tried to change the xyplorer.ini file, but it didn't work.

Select a PSD file, then paste this into the address bar and press ENTER: previewcheck; What is returned?

The semicolon suffix is required, hence why it was suggested.

Looks like 64-bit thumbnails work, so you should add psd to the supported extensions by running this scripting command through the address bar:

Code: Select all

extlist("thumbs64");
